I'm sure that's why they're bringing him in for a visit.

Thats what he means....the supply far outweighs the demand at the Safety position, therefore guys the Bills thought were out of their price range now may be available at a lower cost. 12 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cray51 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Rapp and Blackmon were always the budget starting safeties I would target in FA year one of my Madden franchise. Blackmon is a good athlete, and put him in with a guy like McD, and I think he could be a long term option for this team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWeatherMan Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) McBeane Flow chart: Is the FA high priced? Yes Does he play offense or defense? Offense - don’t sign, look for cheaper talent Defense: proceed to next question Is the player injury prone: No - don’t sign Yes - proceed to next question Did he play for the Carolina Panthers? Yes - Sign to an awful overpriced contract. No - Don’t sign and draft replacement with a high pick, sign a Carolina FA S or re-sign Bills FA. Sorry folks, Simmons and Blackmon don’t fit the job requirements here at OBD. Who is the best Safety in the draft we can get in first round? 😂 Edited March 18 by TheWeatherMan 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
